Industrial Tourism in Japan
Science Square Tsukuba
Science Square Tsukuba is based on the concept of "Come and Feel the Future!".
We have a number of electronic display panels and corners where you can interact with the exhibits. You will be able to get a feeling for the research and development going on at AIST.
